Latest Episode: A Q&A with the SCMH Project Team
Five project management groups can be seen over the lifecycle of a project, sequentially developed with a system approach (interaction and integration between technical and organizational variables): Initiate, Plan, Execute, Close, and Monitor and Control. In this episode, we invited the SCMH Project Management Team to discuss how this work aligns with the IAQG 9145 Standard and some of the frequently asked questions they have addressed:
- Why this team was assembled
- If APQP is redundant to existing activities
- The value APQP brings to small/medium-sized companies or projects
- The similarities/differences between Project Management and 9145
- What part do Project Managers play in the 9145 standard
- If 9145 is Quality driven activity or project management-driven activity
- How the IAQG supports small and medium size companies
- If it is possible to provide a facilitated version of APQP/PM for small and medium-scale companies new beginners
